Error executing Node.js via nvm: "Check the interpreter or linker?"

[devxpain]

Description:

I'm encountering an issue when trying to execute Node.js installed via nvm in Termux. Despite the file being present and marked as executable, the command fails with the following error:

exec: Failed to execute process '/data/data/com.termux/files/home/.local/share/nvm/v22.9.0/bin/node': The file exists and is executable. Check the interpreter or linker?

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install nvm using fisher in Termux (Fish shell):

   fisher install jorgebucaran/nvm.fish

2. Use nvm to install Node.js:

   nvm install latest

3. Attempt to check the Node.js version:

   node -v

4. The error occurs:

   exec: Failed to execute process '/data/data/com.termux/files/home/.local/share/nvm/v22.9.0/bin/node': The file exists and is executable. Check the interpreter or linker?

Expected Behavior:

The node -v command should correctly return the installed Node.js version.

Actual Behavior:

The command fails with the error message about the interpreter or linker.

Additional Information:

• nvm version: nvm, version 2.2.16
• Fish version: fisher, version 4.4.5
• Architecture: arm64

Troubleshooting Attempts:

1. Reinstalled Node.js via nvm (same result).
2. Attempted with both latest and lts versions (v22.9.0 and v20.18.0).
3. Installed Node.js directly via pkg (this works correctly).

Notes:

It seems the binary downloaded by nvm might not be compatible with Termux's environment or requires specific linkers or libraries not available in Termux by default.

Does it work outside of Termux? (Sorry if the question doesn't make sense... I'm not too familiar with Termux).
